Ok, I finally get it. I guess I need more coffee in the morning.  :-)

So, how about simply putting a small capacitor in each probe lead? Say about
.001 uF or perhaps even smaller?  Haven't actually tried this but it should
isolate the DC enough, I'd think. Worth a try.

##  Back in tech school... we would use a  hammond 120-120 vac isolation xfmr, to 
feed the 120 vac input of the scope.   Chassis of the scope floats. 
End of problem....end of story.
